How to deal with diarrhea in a 5-month-old baby

Patient's question:

I've had diarrhea for four days now. It's a 5-month-old baby. At first, it was watery and mixed with milk, but in the last two days, the stool has turned a bit green with some foam. I've given him Beik and probiotics, but it's not working at all. Seeking help! Thank you!

Doctor's answer:

For a baby in this situation, it is more likely related to indigestion. While using probiotics and smectite powder, it is recommended to add infant stomach-strengthening powder. During this period, it is advisable to shorten feeding times and adopt a small meals, frequent meals approach. It is essential to ensure the baby drinks plenty of water. As the weather gradually gets colder in autumn, it is important to provide timely clothing to prevent chills. Additionally, be cautious of nausea and vomiting in autumn. It is best to visit the hospital for rotavirus testing.
